| Protest against Republican tax bill breaks out in US cities | |
| 2017-12-06 | |
| [PRESSTV] Thousands of protesters have carried out demonstrations in major US cities to express their anger over the narrowly passed Republican tax bill that will offer huge tax cuts for US corporations and the wealthiest Americans. Individuals of all ages and demographics marched on Monday in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... 's financial district, where clusters of banks, trusts, and other upper class Americans work. The protesters carried signs and chanted for equality and for Republican senators to be held accountable for approving the sweeping tax overhaul. They said the tax bill will make significant cuts to government-sponsored medical insurance and provides large tax breaks for some of the wealthiest people in the country.
"They're giving a lot of breaks to the upper class and they're screwing over the working people," Rafael Solis told the official Chinese news agency. Many Chicago residents see this tax reform as shamelessly benefiting wealthy Americans, in spite of US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s pledge to help the middle class. "The tax bill is a betrayal of America. It's not acting in the common good," a long-time resident of Chicago said. Protesters say they will continue to demonstrate against the tax legislation in the coming months in the hope of making a change. Similar demonstrations were held in several major cities, including Los Angeles, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, and Boston, Massachusetts. | |

| #12 Revenue collected per square mile inside the city limits vs cost per square mile to operate. The "black hole sponge factor" will become readily apparent. |

| #11 Clustering over the steam grates are they? No - those would be the homeless guys near the Park Street T stop, near Boston Common. I'd rather talk to those guys than the professional protesters inhibiting traffic in front of the State House. Which I've done on occasion - give a guy $2 for a smoke, chat with him while I smoke it, then take off before he tries to hit me up for more cash. |

| #8 #4Â And nary a one has bothered to read the danged thing. There's no reading in protesting. It's just dog whistles and stirring up the mob to protest everything Trump. From the interviews I have seen with the rent-a-mob, they are ill-informed to the extent many don't even know what they are protesting. You can bet Soros' money is behind these protests. |

| #7 I wonder, how many of the protesters actually pay taxes? The answer to this question has been known since Brahmagupta invented the numeral zero. |
